Selected intervals of down-core variations of normalised relative paleointensity, ChRM inclination and declination, and the reversal angle. (A) Core CON 01-603-2: numbers in the simplified lithological column indicate marine isotope stages (MIS), after Fig. 3. The paleomagnetic data show a geomagnetic excursion with a short, but full, reversal of the local field vector at the beginning of MIS 6. (B) Core VER 98-1-1: in this case, the excursion represented by a strong deviation of the reversal angle during a period of low intensity occurs in MIS 3 and corresponds to the Laschamp event. (C) Core VER 98-1-1: in this case, the excursion is also represented by a strong deviation of the reversal angle during a period of low intensity. Again this occurs in MIS 3 and corresponds to the Laschamp event.
